  • Heirs of an Honored Name

    Open AccessEdith B GellesARTICLEJournal of American History2022

    Any historian who reads or writes about the long century after the American Revolution is likely to encounter an Adams, a descendent of Abigail and John, founders of a brilliant dynasty of public servants who were also authors, diarists, and historians. The Adamses are unique. Not that America has not produced its elites over the centuries; Roosevelts, Rockefellers, and movie stars or athletes who burst into celebrity status and then faded. How c…

    I am not, never was, and never shall be a great man, John Adams admitted in 1790 (Ferling, p. 446). Two hundred years later the of John Adams remains problematic. What explains the elevation of such a personality to the highest public offices, particularly after the completion of the Revolution in 1788? asks a contemporary historian, considering the temperamental gulf and unrepublican proclivities that set Adams apart from other Americans.' Both …

  • The Abigail Industry

    Edith B GellesARTICLEThe William and Mary Quarterly1988

Her grands…

    Edith B GellesARTICLEThe New England Quarterly1979

    DTESPITE the upheaval of war and the collapse of many political and social institutions during and after the Revolution, Abigail Adams remained dogmatically domestic in her own self-image, her consciousness, and her ideology.
